A recent [*YouGov* survey](#ref) asked British people whether they thought the UK Government is doing well or badly at responding to the rising cost of energy in the country.

And the results are striking.

Only **1%** of people surveyed said they think the current government is doing *“very well”*. Another **11%** think the government is doing *“faily well”*. Taken together, it means that only **12%** of people think Boris Johnson’s government is responding *well* to the issue of the rising cost of energy.

On the other end of the survey, **29%** of people said the government is doing *“faily badly”*and **53%** said it is doing *“very badly”* *.* Taken together, that is a massive **82%** of people think the government is responding *badly* to the issue.
